It's been an eventful day at GoodGym Leeds. Today, Helen and Adam generously gave up their time to head to the studio at Yorkshire Voices to do a live segment on the benefits of exercise. They did a great job explaining what we do at GoodGym, well done guys.

Tonight we met at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre and had a 4.25Km run around Headingley. We then did a further promotional interview for Yorkshire Voices, where I accidentally talked about the benefits of the Strata app & their partnership with GoodGym. Rachael then politely told me I'd said Strata not Strava! (Strata are actually the builders I bought my house from)! Luckily, the filmmakers can edit that out & Rachael then talked about Strava the fitness app :)

The footage will be shared soon!

We finished off with a Headingley litter pick.

Well done everyone, it was a bit different today!

Tonight 7 GoodGymers ran up to Bedford Fields once again to transfer wheelbarrows full of soil from one part of the garden to another to create a large raised flower bed.

It was rather muddy after yet more rain but we don't mind getting a bit mucky at GoodGym Leeds!

It's also nice to know that in a couple of weeks, we'll no longer need our head torches on a Wednesday evening, which is always a good thing when you're doing outside work.

Good work tonight team!

Tonight, we had a nice big group of 11 GoodGymers who met at Heart and ran up to Bedford Fields for my 50th mission with GoodGym.

We dug a trench under their new fence so that they could tighten it up and then put the mulch onto tree roots at the other side. The idea is to create a border to offer the trees more support. We finished off with a bit of tidying up. It's amazing how much we can get done in an hour between us. Well done team!

Welcome to newcomers Joe, Jubz & Sasha, it was great to meet you all & I hope to see you again soon.

Tonight 6 GoodGymers met at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre to help them with their nursery space. We did a deep clean of toys, tables, chairs & the climbing frame. We're getting quite good at this now so we got through it quite quickly. Naomi found a little, green present on one of the toys from the children, hence the name of this report!! We then went on a 3K run around Headingley but poor Ben had to do a bit longer as he realised that he'd left his keys at Heart! Welcome to newcomers Helen & Sophie who joined us tonight, it was great to meet you both :)

Last night we headed back to Bedford Fields to continue to clear the Ivy from the trees.

This has been a long job which has taken several sessions but we're making good progress and it is actually quite a satisfying task!

It was lovely to meet Ella, a newcomer to GoodGymLeeds; we hope you enjoyed your first session!
